Cubs 10, Reds 2

CHICAGO (AP) — Joc Pederson, Ian Happ and Eric Sogard each drove in two runs, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Reds 10-2 for their season-high sixth consecutive victory.

Rafael Ortega homered and Kris Bryant had a run-scoring single, helping the Cubs improve to 18-7 this month.

It’s the most wins for the team in May since it went 18-10 in 2016.

Cincinnati right-hander Luis Castillo pitched five-plus innings of four-run ball in his seventh straight loss.
